Verse
G
So you think that you have found
Em
A better life that you should live
C
And you're through givin' it all away
Am
I wish there's something I could say
G
Like the time you looked into the mirror
Em
And saw someone else lookin' back
C
I wish I could find the words
Am
But there's nothing that even comes close
Chorus
D
'Cause there ain't nobody ever looked at me
Am
Without lookin' right through me
D
There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Am C
Without lookin' right by me
G D/F# Em Em/D Am7
And you can't go on when the knife feels like justice

Verse 2
G
When the sun dies down and the air grows cold
Em
And the moon plays tricks in the night
Am
Crawlin' low like a snake out of sight
D
Your guide is the northern light
G
You wanna laugh, say I'm insane
Em
Don't have the sense to come in from the rain
C Am
I know how to keep myself between the drops
Chorus
D Dsus4 D
There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Am
Without lookin' right through me
D Dsus4 D
There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Am C
Without lookin' right by me

Verse 3
G
So you think that you have won me over
Em
By settin' me on fire
C
With the sound of your beating heart
Am
And you're burnin' hot desire
G
Like the time I looked at your reflections
Em
And saw someone else lookin' back
C
It's a shame things happen that way
Am
'Cause there's no one that even comes close
